Elevated Levels of Radiation Discovered in Japan's Water

Japan has detected elevated radiation levels in spinach and milk in the prefecture containing its foundering Fukushima nuclear plant and a neighboring prefecture, reports the Wall Street Journal.

Milk produced roughly 30 miles away from the plant had around five times the normal amount of radioactive material iodine-131, while spinach some 75 miles away had about four times the limit. The AP reports that Japan has also detected trace amount of radioactive iodine in tap water in Tokyo and five other areas; the radiation didn't exceed government limits, but normal water tests show no iodine.
